Application led November 11, 1915. Serial No. 60,905.

To all whom z't may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN W. TALBo'r'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vinita, in the county of Craig and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners, of which the following is a specication.

My present invention relates to a new and improved burner that is especially designed to be used with a -liquid fuel and steam; and the primary object of the invention is first, to provide for the proper mixing of the ingredients of the fuel to the end that the minimizing of the amount of fuel used may be attained, and also to comprehend novel means for diverting the iow of each of the fluids from one passageway to another so as to obviate clogging of the various channels and insure the eficient operation of the burner at all times.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type in question that is extremely simple in construction, strong and durable, and highly practical from both the standpoint of the manufacturer and the standpoint of the user; and which, it is believed, may be manufactured at a comparatively low cost.

Various other objects and advantages will become apparent during the continuance of the following description.

These objects are accomplished by such means as are shown in their preferred form in the accompanying drawings, described in the following 'specification and then more speciically pointed out in the appended claims.` y

In the drawings wherein like characters designate like parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a view in vertical section illustrating my invention as in its preferred embodiment, Fig. 2 is a similar view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a view in top plan, Fig. 4 is a view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

In reducing my invention .to practice, I provide a base any suitable material, which is provided at suitable points with tubular extensions 11 for connection with the -fuel and steam su ply pipes 12 and 13 respectively. A nozz e stand 14 is formed upon the base 10 and which is hollowed out in its longitudinal extent, as shown in Figrl to provide a circular conducting channel 15, for communication with the tubular extensions 11 of the 10 that may be formed ofI vclose communication with either base. I further provide the base I() with a Jet 16 that is positioned toextend concentrically of the nozzle stand 14 and vprojects materially above the` upper end 'thereof as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The jet 16 is preferably formed hollow in its longitudinal extent as at 17 for communication with other passageways 18 and 19 respectively of the4 base 10. As is obvious in reference to Fig. 1, the passageways 18 and 19 respectively communicate with the tubular extensions 11.

The nozzle 20 is positioned over the projecting end of the jet 16 and has connection with the upper end of the stand 14 as at 21. At its upper end the nozzle is provided with a transverse slot 22, to permit the egress of the fuel from the burner so' that it may be properly ignited. By positioning the projecting end of the jet 16 within the hollow portion of the nozzle 20, a passageway 23 is formed to communicate with the similar passageway l5 of the nozzle stand which in turn communicates with the tubular extensions 11. Consequently it will be noted that the burner proper comprises two separate and distinct conducting channels, one interiorly'of the jet 16 and the other exteriorly of the jet.. However it will be further Vrecognized that the two conducting channels meet at a point preferably below the upper end of the nozzle so as to facilitate the proper mixing of the ingredients before egression from the slot 22.

In order to provide for the diverting of the fuel elements from one of the passageways or` channels to the other, at times, I employ a pair of valve members 24 and 25 respectively thatv are mounted in the tubular extensions 11 of the base, preferably in the positions shown, through the medium of transversefpintles 26. As clearly shown in Fig. 4, the said pintles are ournaled through suitable stuffing box 27 which are positioned in the walls of the extensions 11, so as to form a tight connection therewith, and carry lsuitable operating members 28 at one of their outer ends. By manipulating the operating members 28, the respective valves may be moved ,to certain positions so as to of the conducting channels of the burner, or both.

In the o eration of my improved burner assuming t at the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1 and thatthe oil is introduced through the pipe 12 and the steam through the pipe 13, it will be seen that the oil will flow through the channel interiorly of the jet 16, by way of the passage 18 while the steam is allowed to How through the nozzle 20 and the jet by way of the bore of the stand 14. `Consequently it will be seen that the ingredients will become thoroughly mixed adjacent the upper terminus of the jet and thus pass upwardly through the slot 22 where they may be ignited. It has been found in actual practice that the oil conducting channel in burners of this type s'oon becomes clogged by reason of the accumulation of extraneous come clogged by the accumulation of foreign matter, or otherwise, the operator may shift 'the valves 24` and 25 brespectively so as to divert the flow of oil entering through the pipe 12 to the passageway exteriorly of the jet and the steam to the clogged passageway of the jet. The action of the steam in the jet will soonq dislodge the obstruction and either thoroughly disintegrate the same or carry it upwardly through the jet and outwardly through the slot 22 of the nozzle.

From the foregoing it is believed that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily understood and therefore further detailed description is deemed unnecessary.

In introducing 'my invention to practice, I find that form referred to herein as the most practical and preferred embodiment is the most ecient, but realizing that certain conditions will necessarilyvary in concurrence with the adoption of the device, I desire to emphasize the fact that various minor changes in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts may be resorted to when required without departing from the spirit and invaso@ scope of my invention or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof, as defined in the appended claims. i

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to `procure by Letters Patent is:

l. In a device of the character described, a burner having supply pipes, independent conducting channels each having inlets adapted to communicate with each of said supply pipes, and means for diverting fluid from either pipe to either channel.

2. In a device of the character described, a burner having supply pipes, inner and outer conducting channels, each having inlets adapted to communicate with each of said supply pipes, and valve means for cooperating with said supply pipes for diverting fluid from either pipe to either channel.

3. In a device of the character described, a burner having supply pipes, inner and outer conducting channels, each having branches adapted to communicate with each of said supply pipes and a valve coperating with each of said supply pipes to divert the fluid from the respective supply pipes to either of said branches.

4l. In a device of the character described. a burner having a base, supply pipes connected with said base, outer and inner conducting channels in said burner, having branches adapted to communicate with each of said supply pipes and a valve cooperating with each of said supply pipes, whereby the fluid from the respective pipe may be diverted to either of said branches.

5. In a device of the character described, a burner having supply pipes, inner and outer conducting channels, each having inlets adapted to communicate with each of said supply pipes, one of said channels having its outlet open to the other channel at a point adjacent and below the outlet of said last mentioned channel, and a valve cooperating with each of said supply pipes, whereby fluid from the respective pipe may be diverted to either channel.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
